Disrupting Consumer Debt using AI with Jason Saltzman, CEO and Co-Founder of Relief

This week on Tech Can’t Save Us, host Paul David is joined by Jason Saltzman, co-founder and CEO of Relief, the first AI-powered consumer debt resolution platform designed to help people tackle the overwhelming credit-card debt crisis.

Jason shares how Relief automates the complex process of negotiating with creditors, helping users save up to 70% on what they owe, while restoring trust, transparency, and dignity to an industry long plagued by hidden fees and predatory models. Using AI, Relief analyzes users’ financial data, identifies optimal settlement strategies, and executes negotiations automatically, allowing anyone to access professional-grade debt relief right from their phone.

The conversation explores Relief’s journey from a $15M Series A to a strategic partnership with National Debt Relief, the largest settlement company in the U.S., enabling the startup to expand nationwide. Jason also discusses his personal mission to democratize access to financial help, his early experiences with debt that shaped Relief’s ethos, and his broader vision for tech that delivers tangible, human-first impact.
